Warning! 15 Zodiac Pairings That Will Crumble In The Sheets

Being able to get it on with success is a pretty big part of a healthy relationship, and compatibility is something that is discussed a lot in astrology. Certain signs do better as friends, others are meant to be the most romantic of lovers - and the rest may not ever be destined to get nasty between the sheets because only disaster can be the end result!

Getting hot and heavy in the bedroom is something some signs take lightly, while others born under different signs in the zodiac might view it as an emotional and physical connection. However, certain signs that get together have opposing core values, which can spell trouble for the two of them. Astrology can teach us about our various personalities, appearances, interests, and even humour styles. Zodiac compatibility is worth taking a look at to see if your most successful (and least successful) relationships followed what is written in the stars. It might end up saving you some precious time. Attraction to any sign is certainly possible, but going for that long-lasting, toe-curling, swoon-worthy relationship is at least worth a shot! Just try to avoid these 15 pairs, depending on your sign, and you should be all set!

15 Aries & Virgo

When it comes to getting down and dirty between and Aries and Virgo, there leaves an awful lot to be desired - namely, the “dirty” part of things. While Aries is a sign who thrives on aggressive behaviour between the sheets, Virgo is a lot shyer and needs to be goaded into getting intimate. Aries is always raring to go and ready to get down to business, while the patient orderly Virgo requires a little more prodding and some verbal stimulation (think dirty talk) before they can get in the mood. Communication is huge for Virgos because they draw a great deal of personal connection through conversation, and an Aries simply isn't willing to put that much effort into a conquest. Add to that the fact that Virgo prefers to take things slow and get to know their partner's body, whereas Aries is the love 'em and leave 'em type who only has an attention span long enough for a quick romp. Together, these two make a clumsy couple that have no spark in the bedroom.

14 Taurus & Aquarius

The real head scratcher here is how Taurus and Aquarius got together in the first place - let alone in bed together - when Taurus considers Aquarius annoying and Aquarius thinks Taurus is boring!

Taurus prefers the slow, sensual seduction that comes with being wined and dined before they hop into bed with a partner, whereas Aquarius is more interested in getting it on anywhere and anytime they feel like it. Taurus is a traditional sign, and set in their ways; they don't enjoy being pushed against a wall in an alley because they consider it to be disrespectful and not at all sexy. Aquarius, on the other hand, thinks such actions simply show their hunger for their partner. While Taurus definitely has the stamina and ability to pull off a mind-blowing evening, they simply don't feel connected to Aquarius in a way that allows them to unleash to their full potential. The emotional gulf between these two signs makes stellar bedroom activities next to impossible.

13 Gemini & Taurus

If you're in the mood for a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am type of encounter, then maybe this pairing makes sense, but if you'd prefer something a little more intimate (and actually good), then Geminis and Tauruses should avoid each other at all costs. Taurus is a sensual Earth sign who loved being snuggled and falling asleep in the arms of their lover. Gemini, on the other hand, tends to stay in their head a lot, and chafes at the idea of having to rest post-coitus in the arms of their partner.

Taurus is the ultimate lazy sign, and loves nothing more than staying at home all day, eating food with their lover, occasionally taking breaks to get back up in each other's business. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Gemini is extremely social and prefers to go about their day after they get busy. The lack of emotional connection between the two (and Taurus's unwillingness to discuss it) will drive a wedge between this pair in the bedroom, leaving them with an unsatisfactory, empty experience.

12 Gemini & Capricorn

While Gemini enjoys talking about getting busy in great detail, mapping out all positions and reviewing past encounters, Capricorn is a lot more reserved and prefers to keep things private, even if they're sharing those things with a Gemini. Capricorn is a notorious stick in the mud who likes to do things by the book, which means it takes an awful lot of prodding and prying to get them to experiment, which is one of Gemini's favourite pastimes. In an intimate relationship, Capricorn will always feel like the babysitter, trying to keep Gemini under control, and Gemini will quickly get annoyed at the constraints issued by Capricorn. The two mix about as well as oil and water, and neither sign has much respect for the other, since they approach relationships with such different perspectives.

If they do end up making it to the bedroom, Capricorn will think Gemini is a freak in the sheets while Gemini will think Capricorn is pretty much asexual and dull as dishwater.

11 Cancer & Gemini

Gemini is a chatty sign who loves to talk about anything and everything, including their personal lives with their partner. Cancer, on the other hand, tends to shut down when it comes to expressing their emotions. While they feel things very deeply, their sensitive nature makes it difficult for them to feel vulnerable enough to open up, which can cause friction between them and the vocal Gemini.

When it comes to getting hot and heavy, Gemini will try and push Cancer outside of their comfort zone, and Cancer will push just as hard back to remain exactly where they are. They don't fall into bed - or love - easily, and so Gemini can get impatient with trying to relax Cancer enough to give them what they need in between the sheets. Getting adventurous is a huge turn-on for Gemini, while Cancer just isn't comfortable enough to provide that level of experimentation. All in all, this couple will get frustrated with each other and enter into a stalemate that will see them crash and burn.

10 Leo & Virgo

For Leo to feel appreciated and loved, they need to constantly be adored and admired by their partner. Being worshipped is vital for a Leo to feel enthusiastic about getting it on, and unfortunately for them, a Virgo simply isn't willing to give that kind of praise.

Virgo's reserved nature is one that requires security and patience in order for them to open up to their SO, but Leo is more concerned about being in the spotlight, and so they can't be expected to wait on Virgo. While both signs are slightly more conservative in how they approach intimacy, Leo isn't nearly as emotionally invested as Virgo, making Virgo feel unimportant and disrespected, at best and ashamed and attacked at worst. They might be able to manage a hook-up once, when both are feeling loose enough to make it happen, but other than that, this is a match that is destined to flame out in the bedroom.

9 Leo & Pisces

There's no relationship quite as volatile as that between Leo and Pisces, largely because the two simply can't coexist in harmony. Pisces is an emotional sign that requires a great deal of support and love in order for them to follow through on a relationship. Since they require so much attention, Leo will become annoyed at their partner seemingly stealing the spotlight, and will take any opportunity to let Pisces know that they think of them as weak, needy, and unrealistic when it comes to relationship expectations.

While Pisces likes to be wooed and gradually turned on to getting intimate, Leo will try to rush things, to know that they are being appreciated in the physical sense. Because of this, Pisces will think that Leo is insensitive and brutal, and Leo will wonder what is taking Pisces so damn long to get naked! Their inability to get on the same page - and willingness to lash out when they feel insecure or hurt - will make this bedroom pairing die out painfully.

8 Virgo & Aquarius

If these two - by some strange twist of fate - actually end up in bed together, you can bet that it's going to be a crappy experience for both parties. Both of these signs spend a lot of time in their own heads, and will end up overthinking almost everything to the point where any intimate action is almost impossible, since neither can be present enough to make it happen.

Aquarius also likes to move a lot faster than Virgo because they try to be as spontaneous as possible and try as many new experiences as they can. Virgo, on the other hand, prefers to give a lot of thought to someone before jumping into bed with them. While Aquarius is as intellectual as Virgo, they analyze things a little less, thus can quickly get bored with Virgo's slow pace. Virgo is, in contrast, much more conservative than Aquarius, and will find themselves confused and embarrassed by their partner's odd behaviour. Getting it on would take a while for these two, and would end up being pretty terrible anyway!

7 Libra & Virgo

For bedroom action that is over in two seconds flat-look no further than the pairing of Libra and Virgo. Virgo is an Earth sign who prefers a slow, steady pace to things, and that includes doing the dirty. They prefer to get to know their partner before getting intimate, and during the act itself, they like to take their time. Libra, on the other hand, is an Air sign, which means that everything they do - including sealing the deal - happens at lightning speed. This will cause distress on the part of Virgo and humiliation for Libra, because that sign does not handle criticism well, and Virgo is known for being a fussy and critical sign.

Ultimately, this couple simply won't be able to see eye to eye on almost anything, least of all getting busy, and are pretty much guaranteed to fail. Fortunately for the two of them, neither partner will be missing out on much with the other, since none of their needs are being met.

6 Scorpio & Gemini

Scorpios are the sign most closely associated with your naughty bits, which means that sexual compatibility with them is almost a given. Unfortunately, that is not the case with Scorpio and Gemini. While Scorpio tends to be a very deep, passionate, and emotional sign who puts a great deal of importance into getting intimate, Gemini can be a bit flakier and more superficial, which is a huge turn-off for the intense Scorpio.

Intimacy is a major component of getting physical for Scorpio, and most times, a Gemini simply can't deliver in that arena, since they consider getting it on to be more about having fun. Because of Scorpio's powerful libido, they often feel that Gemini isn't a match for them. In fact, they may consider the more aloof Gemini to be almost asexual compared to their fiery sign! Balancing their tastes and desires is vital to have this pairing work, but they're unlikely to ever be on the same page when it comes to getting down and dirty.

5 Scorpio & Leo

For a pair of zodiac signs with impressive sex drives, it might be surprising that Scorpio and Leo can almost never, ever work. While Scorpio ties together the emotional and the physical and approaches of getting intimate with seriousness, Leo prefers to get what they want from wherever, since they enjoy the admiration and action that comes with getting hot and heavy. Because of that need, Leo may be inclined to take on multiple partners, which a Scorpio can't really respect, since they consider sex to be a life or death thing and not something to take lightly.

They might have a fiery moment or two between the two of them, but Leo and Scorpio are ultimately doomed before they even begin. Their hot-headedness and powerful emotions will destroy the two of them, and neither will ever see eye to eye when it comes to doing the deed. Leo will be looking for fun, Scorpio will be looking for connection, and both will walk away empty-handed and unsatisfied.

4 Sagittarius & Capricorn

A prime example of “What the hell was I thinking?” is this pair of signs, who take on a weird parent-child relationship when they become a couple. Capricorn is know for their hard work and responsibility, and that will carry over into a relationship with Sagittarius. Sagittarius won't really understand the importance of this responsibility, and might even feel ashamed of their immaturity, which Capricorn won't hesitate to point out.

Capricorn is a difficult sign to loosen up, while Sagittarius is much more of a free spirit. Instead of teaching each other what they know best and balancing one another out, they will be constantly at odds, and their bickering will seep into the bedroom. Sagittarius will want to try new things while Capricorn will be set in their ways, and the two will argue more than they make up. A relationship that doesn't really work in any sphere-this pairing will be left confused as to how it happened in the first place.

3 Capricorn & Aries

Incompetence and impotence are the two main factors that make up the sexual relationship between Capricorn and Aries, which shows you about how successful this pairing is meant to be! Born out of a need for control, Aries might seek out Capricorn because they are in need of some balance in their lives, and know that Capricorn can provide just that in the bedroom. However, things will shortly backfire. Aries is likely to become bored with Capricorn, while Capricorn will lose their energy to tame the beast that is Aries.

Because these two are so out of sync with each other, pleasure and desire cannot be reached, meaning that even if they wanted to make something happen, they wouldn't be able to help one another get there. The planets that rule both signs, Mars and Saturn, are enemies, and so this relationship is doomed from the get-go. Trying to use one partner to fix each other's shortcomings is destined to fail, and this pairing will have unremarkable times in the bedroom.

2 Capricorn & Leo

With Capricorn and Leo, it's a battle of opposites. While Capricorn is coolheaded and collected, Leo is warm and passionate. Although they both might be attracted to one another initially, it is almost impossible that this attraction will follow them into the bedroom. Capricorn takes a more traditional approach to love and intimacy, while Leo is more about giving freely, which will fire up Capricorn's insecurity. In turn, Capricorn will shut down and refuse to provide the admiration that Leo so desperately needs.

While these two signs are similar in many ways, owing to their impressive understanding of their selves, they will never see it that way. The times when they try to get hot and heavy will end up being clumsy, cold, and boring. They are likely to find themselves in a rut, since they are unable to communicate properly with one another, which means that their libidos will be lost to the stagnant routine they so often find themselves in.

1 Aquarius & Cancer

There's no stressful bedroom pairing quite like these two! While Cancer is known for their emotional intelligence, they can also be incredibly moody and set boundaries when it comes to getting it on that Aquarius just doesn't want to deal with. The sign of the water-bearer simply has too much energy to babysit and placate their Cancer partner, and so will run from expressing their emotions and communicating what they need in a relationship, much to the dismay of Cancer.

Always in pursuit of new experiences, Aquarius will try and push the envelope with Cancer and get them to try new things before they're ready or willing. Cancer will be hurt by these actions, and take it as a sign that Aquarius is frivolous with both their feelings and with sex - a major turn-off for the crab. Their differing ideals about getting intimate will be too much to handle for this couple, and this stress will eventually tear them apart.
